“…Before the deposition of paraffin wax occurs, paraffin wax will first crystallize or precipitate out from crude oil. The precipitation of paraffin wax occurs in two stages, which are known as nucleation and crystal growth [6][7][8]. Nucleation occurs when the temperature of the crude oil decreases to the wax appearance temperature (WAT).…”

“…These clusters are better known as nuclei, and the formation of these nuclei is defined as nucleation. Homogeneous nucleation takes place in the absence of contaminant or nucleating materials [6]. Meanwhile, heterogeneous nucleation occurs in the presence of nucleating material(s) throughout the liquid.…”

“…Low to intermediate melting point waxes mainly consist of n-alkanes ranging from C 20 to C 50 (Jafari Behbahani et al, 2015). They are translucent white to yellow and have a well-defined macrocrystalline structure of large needles or plates, with a melting point in the range of 43 to 68°C, typically around 55°C.…”

“…The demand for the crude oil kept on increasing as it plays a major role in most of leading industries [1]. It is normally the accumulation of hydrocarbon consisting of waxes, asphaltenes, resins, aromatics and naphthenic [2].…”
